Red Stinger
- Performance is based from it's location: Similar to a Repeater when close to home (cheaper), and becomes a weaker version of a Wall when further away from it. When placed on the center, it's just like a Peashooter with extra defense.Lava Guava

- Lobs projectiles that bounce from zombie to zombie, effective vs Excavator Zombies.Endurian

IMPORTANT REMINDERS!
- Snapdragons: After placing 2 Sunflowers, place the first 2 Snapdragons on the 2nd and 4th row first, next on 3rd, then 1st and 5th rows last. If the formation below requires 2 columns of Snapdragons, start by placing 4 of them on the the 2nd and 4th row, and so on.
- Note: Use Wall-Nuts or Tall-Nuts if needed to defend your Snapdragons.

Gold Tiles
- Place a plant here to get bonus Suns overtime. If possible, place your first few plants here to speed up your progress. Note: Using a Shovel and placing another plant won't work hehe, best use plants with 0 Sun requirement.

- You can instantly repair defensive plants like Wall-Nuts and Talls-Nuts by planting the same plant on top of them.
- You can use Plant Food on any seed packet to instantly refresh their cool down.
- You can manually launch one mower by tapping and holding!
- After you complete the formation below, you may slowly replace your Sun producing plants with offensive plants.
- If you are having difficulty, you may use Power Ups or buy PFs if you like.

How to Plant Guide:
- | Sunflower | Peashooter | Peashooter | Wall |
- This means: Plant Sunflowers in the 1st column from the left, Peashooters in the 2nd and 3rd columns, then Wall-Nuts in the 4th column.

Lost City - Day 12 (Produce 5000+ Sun)

- | Twin Sunflower | Snapdragon | Snapdragon |
- PF: Snapdragon vs Porter Gargantuar
- Iceberg Lettuce and Puff-shroom: Same, spam and place on those Gold Tiles, use Shovel to remove them if you need their space.
- Chili Bean: use it on the first Conehead zombie to clear it out.
- Blover: vs Bug Zombies!
- Cherry Bomb: vs Porter Gargantuar.
- Mower: In case you'll get more than 1 Porter Gargantuar, you can manually launch one mower by tapping and holding to instantly defeat one.
- Build Twin Sunflowers fast and spam those Gold Tiles to complete the requirement.

Lost City - Day 13 (Mini Game)

- | Any | Any | Any | Spikerock |
- Note: Parasol Zombies are invulnerable from lob attacks, and Excavator Zombies from straight line attacks, so it is best to put at least 1 Lob and 1 Straight attacker per row.
- Lob Attackers: Watermelon-pults (best placed on the 2nd/3rd/4th rows) and A.K.E.Es.
- Straight Attackers: Red Stingers and Repeaters.
- PF: Depends on the target zombie near your plants, and on what type of attack they are vulnerable. Example: Red Stingers vs Parasol Zombies, or Watermelon-pults vs Excavator or other zombies.
- This mini game might need some luck, because sometimes the game will just give you a series of long Lob or Straight attackers, from the start LoL.

Lost City - Day 16 (Mini Game! - Gargantuar and World Key!)

- | Any | Any | Any | Any | Endurian |
- PF: Red Stinger vs Porter Gargantuars, If some zombies managed to reach the 1st column early game, use PF on A.K.E.E, or if you want to get rid of those Parasol Zombies near your plants, then use it on Red Stingers. Save up for the Porter Gargantuars though.
- Place 2 Red Stingers and 2 A.K.E.Es per row.
- Cherry Bomb and Lava Guava: vs Porter Gargantuars. For best results, always use Cherry Bomb on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th row.
